Bibleman is bad in its writing, dialogue, character's, etc. My parents are pretty liberal Christians who knew that most Christian shows were bad expect Veggie Tales unlike many other Christian parents who lacked common sense between good content and bad and they let me watch non-Christian shows that taught better morals and values. But I stilled watched this and disliked it. I'm now a animator working in the animation industry and hoping to move to the Christian industry and create a Christian cartoon that actually teaches morals and values while at the same time having actually writing ,dialogue ,humor, that is common in non-Christian cartoons.

OK I understand where everyone is coming from when saying this is incredibly cheesy. But I believe this give a great message to children. Though the violence may be rough but its meant for older children who I hope have learned your not supposed to hit someone with a sword. I also saw a few comments stating that the violence is unbiblical and ungodly. I disagree, being a Christain myself, I see the violence representing more of a spiritual battle rather than physical. Even if it is meant to be physical and I'm just mistaken it's not ungodly. King David in the Bible fought off many enemies, he even cut off a giants head. God also commanded the Isrealites to destroy nation and when they didn't kill everything in sight in the book of I Kings they were punished. I hope I've made my voice herd. You can knock this movie all you want but please don't knock God in the process.

This movie/series is horrible. It has horrific acting, plot, and effects. If I wanted to teach my children about God, I would, as others mentioned, get Veggietales. Not this stuff. There are so many inconsistencies in the story and ideas; so much of it makes no sense or is completely stupid. The unrealistic situations that Bibleman's little kiddie pals are stuck in don't help either. It also taught me that even if it's bad to lie, cheat, be prideful, or be angry, it's just fine to fight people with lightsabers! I mean, there are so many people commenting on this movie, and we're all saying basically the same thing, but with even more reasons to hate it tagged on. If you actually watch an episode of this stuff, you will see what we are all talking about. Trust me, you don't want to see this, and your kids don't either.

I saw this show on a local channel at my house called PAX. It stars Willie Aames ("Eight is Enough") as a...BIBLE MAN! He fights justice with a crossbreed between a lightsaber and a laser pen, defeating Greed, Jealousy, Corruption, etc...

I'm not sure if the show is supposed to be ridiculous or not. For example: Bible Man fights with a baddie and takes his lightsaber out for the fight. He swings it at baddie, misses, and hits some wood. The saber bounces off the wood with sparks. Now, if this thing is a laser shouldn't it cut through wood?!

Aside from things like that, this show if family friendly...if a bit odd...

"Bibleman quotes chapter and verse to help real kids deal with real problems." How true these words ring, since I can't even count the number of times supervillains used mad science to make me doubt my faith in God when I was a kid. That quote actually exemplifies perfectly the problem I see with most of Bibleman's audience: they're just looking at the surface of this program.

Samuraiguy hit the nail on the head. This show is absolutely ludicrous in how it tries to entice kids into forming a bond with God. Most of the people touting this show's merits see a superhero fighting in the name of Our Lord (and I'm a Christian myself, so I'm not bagging on this because I'm against Bibleman's religion) and not how stupid and hypocritical the series is. In two shows, Lead Us Not Into Temptation and A Light in the Darkness, Bibleman tells us we need to work together and have fellowship with other Christians so we can resist temptation and other forms of evil better. Then in Jesus Our Savior, he totally throws those lessons out the window and goes out to fight his most powerful enemy yet ALL ALONE. And he had both of his sidekicks by that point and gave no reason whatsoever for leaving them behind besides it being in the script. Now that I think about it Bibleman did something similar in the Fear episode, where he doesn't tell his sidekick and supposed best friend about problems he's having. Just in general, he'll lecture the victimized kid du jour on how God loves them and forgives their sins no matter what, but as soon as a villain shows up he goes off on them about how people like them always get their just desserts.

I find the problem with many of the lessons the show tries to teach is basically what I said at the top; the villain will use his diabolical invention to make Bibleman feel pride or doubt or anger or distrust toward his teammates, but Bibleman never overcomes these negative feelings through prayer, faith or fellowship. He finds out that one of his enemies was behind it and the problem of his misbehavior and all of its consequences goes away, and that's why I find this whole program so laughable. Bibleman is supposed to be just a human at heart and so vulnerable to the same temptations as the rest of us, but unlike the rest of us he never has to resolve any problems that arise because of being angry or proud or dishonest. In the real world, these result in diminished trust between people or distancing of loved ones, and those are "real problems" "real kids" have to deal with as a result of the temptations Bibleman tries to teach us about. If Bibleman and his posse are supposed to be role models who go through the same temptations to sin as the kids they try to reach, they should be put in situations where their misbehavior is their fault, not the Prince of Pride's or Wacky Protester's, and have to face up to what they did, not just go, "Holy inane plot devices, Bibleman! El Furioso is behind you being an asshole the last few days! You're totally blameless!" The villains are supposed to embody the concepts of fear, wrath, pride, or thinking for yourself, but that approach costs the show all of its impact because a person was behind the Bible Team's sins, and they never have to answer for what they do because they were just being manipulated. And come on, what kind of role model hides in the bushes and spies on young boys? Watch Conquering the Wrath of Rage if you don't believe me.

And lastly, if you want to tell people how to live, you should pick one tone and stick with it. Bibleman takes every opportunity to make its villains look goofy and non-threatening, and altogether doesn't take itself very seriously with numerous self-referencing jokes, yet constantly turns around and tries to tell its viewers how to live in God's way and other serious issues. It was probably done to make the show kid-friendly. Instead it suggests that the creators don't know what they're doing.

In the end, Bibleman is little more than the Captain Planet of Christianity: he presents a worthwhile message, and many people who see it buy into it, but delivers it in an extremely unbalanced manner far fewer acknowledge because it's a superhero teaching what are ostensibly positive beliefs to kids. I know I've just made myself look like a complete lunatic, but better than that someone who wants a video to raise their kids.

I am going to be brief about this horrifying series, let me begin by stating I am a Christian, so I hold no kind of vendetta against the morals portrayed.

Let me explain my feelings about this show in one sentence: This is an awfully acted, horrifically directed, terribly written, atrociously misinformed, horrendously uninspired "series" that deserves to have a warning on it to keep unsuspecting families from renting it.

That is my one sentence review, there you have it.

NOTE: This series does not reflect what Christians enjoy to watch, quite the contrary really.

Bibleman is truly a sorry/awful way for any Christian parent to teach their children any sort of values. Veggies Tales has stories with characters(cute veggies), and lots of other Christian animated videos. Got this for my son for Christmas(2006)this year, because I thought it would be more mature for his age(9). Boy was I wrong. He went back to the Veggie Tales, & The Pond, after only 15 minutes of watching BIBLEMAN. It was such a waste of money, and the time. I had to force my son into watching BIBLEMAN. I tried everything, to try to get him to watch it longer. He politely asked me to please put in the VEGGIE TALE video so he could watch that one.

I really can't say much about the rest of this show, but after the 5 minutes I saw of it I can't bring my self to ever watch anymore. I flipped on the TV just in time to see Bibleman vaporizing a robot that the dialog described as looking like an old ally of his. Bibleman noted that he should have seen through it because the robot has two blue eyes while the real person has "one blue eye and one green eye, as an unfortunate result of his hereditary lineage." Unfortunate result? WTF? I didn't stick around to hear anymore. If anyones hereditary lineage that produces simple heterochromia is unfortunate in the eyes of this biblical superhero, I don't think I need anymore.

With a great personality and amazing figure Bibleman would have destroyed Thanos. This tv show was better special effects than 90% of tv shows today! Bibleman is much better than VEGGIE TALES and Bibleman would destroy Larry the Cucumber, and Bob the tomato.

My 7 year old sister borrowed this from the library at my church, the episode called, I think, "Silencing the Gossip Queen". Miles Peterson, a suspicious knockoff of Bruce Wayne, fights embodiments of human nature, while hosting an often-targeted youth group. Even my sister treated the show as a joke, laughing at the 'scripture-quoting' parts. The reasoning behind the low rating is not a matter of enjoyment, but the fact that children will watch this due to the 'Christian Values' content. There are too many problems that I could cover, but a few struck out to me.

First of all, the whitewashing. The show had an all-white cast, aside from a singular black girl. Now, I know that Bibleman gets a black sidekick later on, but this episode didn't have one. The youth group gets a segment in which they sing in front of an ALL-WHITE congregation. All shots of the congregation featured strictly white people. Even during the song, the black girl gets the least amount of screen-time, often going off-camera, or saying the least amount of lines throughout the story. What's the point of conversion if the kingdom of heaven would be predominantly filled by middle-class White America? Inconsistencies in moral structure: Bibleman and the youth group encounter all sorts of 'evils', such as gossiping, greed, wrath, etc. Even after Bibleman demolishes these embodiments, he is just as human as everyone else, and would succumb to the same evils. What does destroying these embodiments prove? Why are these embodiments then at fault, when these traits all exist in us? Bibleman can easily put the blame for his faults on the villains, instead of asking for forgiveness. The moral lessons are unclear in these series of episodes.

Poor script-writing: I swear, watching this episodes feels like as if someone is cramming a Bible down one's throat. Yes, the scripture is there for the children, but my sister can't even remember anything past the name of the book the verse is from. Most of the time, the script-writing caused the actors to say lines that seemed forced, almost unnatural. The villains had no reason behind their actions(the Gossip Queen wants to get rid of the 'meddling' youth group kids, but why?), aside from attempting to cause as much chaos as possible in a small-scale attempt. Yes, Bibleman gets a flashback at the beginning of every episode, but even he appears as a flat two-dimensional character. He is the same unconflicted man with absolute morals and inconsistent justice.

There are too many plot inconsistencies for me to actually list, even from a singular episode. Preferrably, to all parents out there, Veggie Tales is a better suggestion. Just because it has scripture and morals doesn't mean that your children should be subjected to this.

I have 3 children to take care of as a young independent cristian, veagan scorpo, and against fortnite, very right wing, republican mother. And all my kids do is watch this show. One day i decided to watch it with them since my husband died after oding on 8 pounds of columbian cocaine i had laced with Fentanyl and given to him for his birthday. I haven't seen him since he was taken to the hospital so i assume he is dead. And i will admit, this is the funniest show i have ever seen. I decided to go to imdb to share the god will and love of god that this show offrers to children with an action packed plot.

Avoid this one like the plague. Everything about it is awful. Special effects are poor, the "Bibleman" character is a hypocritical creep, acting is abysmal, dialog is inane, plots are painful to follow, and the only lessons being taught here are how NOT to make children's entertainment. Just because a show is meant for children is not an excuse for it to be poor quality. I would not want my children learning anything from a guy who spouts bible verses while hurting people.

The only reason so many "Bibleman" episodes were made because some parents feel they need to get children's shows that are designed to teach Christian values and Bible verses. If you feel that way, then get "Veggie Tales" or other selections. Trust me, you don't want "Bibleman" in your house.

Stunningly and embarrassingly awful. I can only imagine how confusing and disappointing this must be to anyone to really wants to take it seriously. The plot, acting, costumes, effects and dialog range from "head-shaking" to insulting.

I assume that anyone who gave this "show" a review more than 1 star out of 10 must be joking. We've got denigration of women, closed-mindedness about anyone who is "different", intolerance, and a weird amount of intentional violence cloaked in self-righteousness. I am utterly amazed that it was bankrolled enough to stay on the air for so long. Strange. I wonder who was watching this.

There's a common consistency with Christians and "fishing for men(children, really)" that cracks me up. Whenever there's an attempt to copy, it fails. This is seen in movies, video games, music, and TV shows. It's beyond me how a religion expects to dopplegang a popular thing and make it suitable for their morales. As stated, many times before, shows like Veggie Tales sell--both monetarily and morally. This is due to originality... To summarize: Christian copy = FAIL Christian originality = SUCCESS

That said, "Bibleman" fits in the prior. It's a garbage copy of a copy. It spins off other children's shows, and doesn't bring anything further to the table. The plots are lacking creativity, the messages are mixed, the characters are terrible, the edit job is comedic, and the sets are a B-film joke.

I don't want to knock any of the "values" or "ideas" expressed in some of the episodes. This is a children's show, and not meant to become a forum for non-Christians to retort (which is hard, lol). I find it funny that religious trollers lurk to the Da Vinci Code/Golden Compass/ETC. boards and rant hopelessly, and this comment list is filled with the exact same thing (in an opposite fashion), so forget it.

My recommendation to the Christian parent: Check it out and pick it up (I'm sure it's cheap). As other parents stated before, it does have the values you're looking for. Nonetheless, don't expect anything fantastic, like more mainstream religious entertainment.

My recommendation to the rest of us: Watch this. Not for its values or purpose, but for the sheer morbid love for terrible shows. If your one of those people that "knock" at things for the comedy of failure, this is for you. I'm sure it'll spark a blog or youtube video of all sorts.

As a grownup, this looks pretty stupid. But looking back, I absolutely loved this show as a kid! It hit all the right notes in both action and provocativeness. It's also a faith -based show, with is a plus :)

First of all, let me say that I am in no way a Christian, but even if I was, I would still probably find this show to be horrible.

There is absolutely nothing of value here. It basically revolves around some half-assed villain that refuses to follow god, and just ends with Bibleman reading off some verse of the Bible that's meant to show that villain that he is indeed a villain.

The first time I saw this, I thought it was a joke showing how dumb some Christians are, but after a little while, I realized that they were seriously trying to pass this garbage off as a show.

This is hands down the best super hero show I have ever seen. I highly recommend it.

I honestly don't see why so many people say that this is horrible. I'm 17, and I have 5 siblings that grew up in the 90s watching this, so I saw it when I was little. I mean yeah not really an adult series, but it's still good, and something that I if I have kids, that I'll show them.

I've seen two episodes of this show and while it seemed self-aware in the sense that the makers knew they were being over the top, it took itself way too seriously.

In one episode there were a couple fourth wall breaks and the villain of the day referenced himself playing a different character in another episode. That could be funny but if it was truly tongue in cheek it would have been a lot looser instead of using a sledgehammer to hammer the moral of the story.

So far there have been two people to play Bibleman, I only know of Willie Aames so no offense to the guy that took over for him, but I've never seen you so your episodes don't count in this.

Bibleman is the story of a man, Miles, who at the lowest point in his life found a bible and was born again. Since then he's become a scripture spouting superhero with absolutely no super powers. No seriously, he's completely powerless and his only abilities are to quote scripture to the baddies, who are caricatures. One was a evil scientist and strangely the other was an evil scientist as well.

The baddies all know that the bible and it's message is real but for some reason they work against it. Yeah, I don't get it either but this is a common thing with a lot of evangelicals who claim we all know that the bible and God are real and those that say otherwise are just being stubborn.

In later episodes Bibleman gets sidekicks who's names I forget. Some weapons like a shield of truth and sword of... something that looks awfully like a lightsaber. But even then nobody dies, nobody really gets hurt and Bibleman defeats them using bible verses and the power of the Lord.

It's pretty stupid and it never really caught on in part because it's just bad. Any scene with child actors in it is just horrific.

So really, give this one a pass unless you're into bad evangelical shows by a washed up former teen star.
